Went out to Tokai for a short ride yesterday. Was riding up The Faerie Garden, heard 2 woman talking heading down (the trail snakes quite a bit with thick bush, so you can hear people but not see them) they seemed to be walking as I didn't hear the normal bike noises so carried on riding, come round an uphill bend.... suddenly there are 2 horses !!! To make matters worse the horses seemed very skittish, and if I hadn't dismounted off my MUni I'm sure they both would have taken off in any direction at speed. Even just standing with my MUni the horses were not very sure what to do and both woman struggled to control their horses. So my rant is.... WTF ... are you doing taking a horse down a very narrow winding single track where you can't see what is on the trail for the next 5 meters when your horse is very skittish ..... for starters... what would have happened if I had been on an MTB going a lot faster !!!! Then .... WhyTF ... are you taking a horse down a single track ...F$*@#^&ing up the single track !!! During the rainy season last year I noticed so much trail damage done by horses on the single tracks, and it annoys the living cr@p out of me. Tokai forest has specific roads that MTB'ers are not allowed on that horses are, and there are additional trails in the lower forest specifically for horses !!!! gggrrrrr

I'm looking for a seriously EPIC trail to ride. Some prerequisites.... 1. All single track 2. Very technical 3. Remote 4. No jeep tracks, or tar roads 5. If there is any historical related reasons for the trail it would be a bonus. 6. Can be in neighbouring countries As it will be a Mountain Unicycle trip the distance is not important (as it would be for MTB), and would look to do about 60-100km's tops over about 4 days. The idea for the trip is to look at doing something remote and very challenging. We (AmaOneTya) are going to be entering a proposal for the Kris Holm, Evolution of Balance Award. The EOB Award is entering it's second year and is an award given to a team proposing a difficult, creative, remote Mountain Unicycling adventure. Last year we propsed a trip to Lesotho, doing about 60km's over 3 days in the heart of the Lesotho mountains staying over in Basutho huts along the way. This year Lesotho is still an option, however it would need to be more of a self-assisted trip. We unfortunately did not win the award, which was won by a team from the USA who proposed a trip to Panama to travel the ancient "Gold Routes". Team Rollercoaster from the USA have just finished their EPIC trip. Although the award does not cover much of the expenses we would look at it as an amazing opportunity to do an EPIC adventure. Anyone with info on trails, or where I can get info on remote/challenging trails ?

When ....

...and how many clown suits did you tear in the process? None They are reserved for the MTB'ers that don't have the b*lls to attempt the same trails and drops as we do, even though they have 2 wheels...... Yours is on back order

hahahah' date=' dont think so. Those are bionic legs attached to said unicycle. [/quote'] If only they were bionic. They wouldn't be aching after the last 3 days of riding in the forest.....

need to get a pair of white gloves to complete the Michael Jackson grab .....

A group of us did the Burger MTB race, and 1 guy did the 44km road race ... all on Uni's No.... we don't cleat in. It's not really a good idea, unless you're planning on having some reconstructive face surgery

..... article on page 3 http://www.capeargus.co.za Did an interview with the Argus on Monday afternoon, at the start of a ride in Tokai Forest, as I'm going to do the Argus MTB Challenge on my MUni. Still running around trying to get a copy of the Argus to get the whole story.

I had some terrible service from Cycle Lab at Westlake in CT. After going to the place 4 times looking for something and being told each time that it would be ordered and arrive a few days later.... nothing. So went to their website and found a web form to fill in rating their service.... http://www.cyclelab.co.za/default.asp?des=feedback Worked very well. Got an email from Andrew Mclean shortly thereafter, and a call from Gary Mercia a short while after that, follow by a call from the store manager. They sourced what I was looking for in 3 days and I collected it from them. They were very appologetic about everything. Give it a go.
